The conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran is poised to become a frozen conflict, characterized by ongoing tensions and intermittent hostilities without a comprehensive resolution. A frozen conflict occurs when a political agreement cannot be reached, leading to a situation similar to the unresolved conflict in eastern Ukraine. President Donald Trump's approach to foreign policy, which equates ceasefires with victories, has resulted in numerous unresolved conflicts, including the current situation with Iran. The asymmetric nature of the war, where the US and Israel hold significant military power over Iran, complicates resolution efforts, as the weaker party often resorts to tactics aimed at exhausting the stronger opponent. Additionally, critical issues like Iran's nuclear program remain contentious, with both sides failing to commit to long-term solutions. The potential for a frozen conflict could lead to increased instability in the Middle East, including periodic violence and an arms race, reminiscent of unresolved conflicts in other regions such as the Korean Peninsula and South Asia.
